Lack of banding
Nonfoliated metamorphic rocks are formed around igneous intrusions where the temperatures are high but the pressures are relatively low and equal in all directions (confining pressure).
A characteristic of all non-foliated metamorphic rocks is that they lack a layered or banded appearance, which distinguishes them from foliated metamorphic rocks. Instead, non-foliated rocks typically have a more uniform texture and are composed of interlocking mineral grains. Common examples include marble, formed from limestone, and quartzite, formed from sandstone. These rocks are often formed under conditions of high temperature and pressure but without significant differential stress.
no
All rocks except volcanic or tectonic glasses have crystals. Therefore all metamorphic rocks have crystals, however in lower metamorphic environments these crystals may remain microscopically small.
No. Non-foliated metamorphic rocks include quartzite and marble.

yes, all rocks can form from all others depending on pressure, etc
No. Non-foliated metamorphic rocks include quartzite and marble.
Yes. Most likely it would become a metamorphic rock of higher grade. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock. With increased heat and pressure it will become schist, a high grade metamorphic rock.
Slate and marble are examples of metamorphic rocks. Other metamorphic rocks include gneiss, schist, and quartzite. All metamorphic rocks are formed from other rock types.
All sedimentary and igneous rocks
They are all metamorphic rocks.
All rock types can be changed through metamorphism.
